Re: Some help please

I got mine from Eastern Plant Specialties, same tree. I'm thinking now that
it wasn't a zone problem but a site problem. No tree ever did well in that
particular spot. The redbud I put there died. The Yellowhorn just never
really developed. I think possibly voles had a route through there. Now I
have a blue rose of sharon there after having nothing in that spot for
several years. It seems to be doing ok. But I would much rather have had
the Yellowhorn. May just have to try again.
